I have a supplementary question. I take it that you are able to confirm the 18 to 1 ratio, and given that you have asked specifically that General Motors provide clarification on their future, are you aware that the CEO of General Motors-Holden, Mike Devereux, today told the Productivity Commission that Holden had provided the government with the amount of co-investment that was actually required to keep them in the country? Will the government now act on Holden's request to ensure the future of automotive manufacturing in Australia?
